Anemia on Abiraterone + Prednisone + Lupron
Since November 2023 I have been taking Abiraterone + Prednosone for castrate resistant metastatic prostate cancer. In November my PSA was 0.8. In the first three months it went down to 0.26. Yesterday, my PSA was 0.16. But my hemoglobin and hematocrit became low at 11.6 and 36% respectively.

Input on Timing of Initial ADT after RP/SRT Failed
After surgery and salvage radiation therapy (SRT) have failed, it appears I'm headed for androgen deprivation therapy. Like many things in the world of prostate cancer, the recommendations as to when to start ADT seem to be all over the place, so I'm seeking any insights folks may have based on your

Hello, I have renal limited vasculitis and am wondering if anyone has experience with a switch from Rituximab to Cyclophosphamide after 3 months of initial induction therapy? My first treatment that started almost 3 months ago was Rituximab with Prednisone. At first things were going well with eGFR

Hemosiderin staining?
Hi, Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve woken up today with rust like staining, mainly on my left hand with a little on my right. No logical cause from anything I’ve touched. Googling seems to suggest it is hemosiderin staining, though they are mainly US sites. This could make sense as I still

Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

Surgery or radiation, looking for some advices
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advices for my father. He was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. He probably already had it for a long time. Quite high PSA (way over 20), and spread to multiple lymph nodes. The surgeon said surgery is still doable, followed by radiation. Radiation oncologist

repost - cancer progression - next steps?
I am reposting in the hope of receiving a response regarding best next steps. Please see my profile for history on my dad's condition.

A few Things ….
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

Hi - and welcome! My name is Donna - I facilitate this support group for The PBC Foundation - Health Unlocked. If you are new to your diagnosis, first of all, take a breath. It’s ok. We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop

Discomfort
Hi all. I'm getting discomfort in my upper abdomen. It's not pain exactly but it's uncomfortable. It's like IBS, which I suffer with, but can't take peppermint oil anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? It's not bloated like I had when I was diagnosed with cirrhosis. Apart from this
